Home Performance
A drafty home, rooms that are too hot or too cold, and high energy bills are all
common issues for homeowners. A quality installation of a new heating or air condition
system, buying replacement windows, or adding more insulation may fix part of the
problem. But the way to better results is through an integrated “whole-house” approach
that looks at your house as a system. If you are interested in improving your existing
home energy performance, remodeling or renovating your existing home, we can help
you. Home Performance with ENERGY STAR, a national program from the U.S. EPA and
U.S. DOE, offers a comprehensive, whole-house approach to improving energy efficiency
and comfort at home, while helping to protect the environment.
Rather than focusing on a single component, such as single-paned windows, an old
air conditioning system, or leaky ductwork, JTCI can asses how improvements to all
of these components can work together to provide fewer drafts, consistent temperatures
across rooms, better ventilation and humidity control, and lower utility bills.
You’ll also be helping to protect the environment through energy conservation.
Common recommendations include:
- Sealing Air Leaks and Adding Insulation
- Sealing Ductwork
- Improving Heating and Cooling Systems
- Upgrading Lighting and Appliances
- Solar Thermal Hot Water, Geothermal HVAC and Photovoltatic Panels for Power
